MBT Financial Corp. Announces Preliminary

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Profit

 

MONROE, Mich., January 25, 2016 – MBT Financial Corp., (Nasdaq: MBTF), the parent company of Monroe Bank & Trust, reported a preliminary net profit of $4,014,000 ($0.18 per share, basic and diluted), in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to a profit of $2,149,000 ($0.09 per share, basic and diluted), in the fourth quarter of 2014. The net profit for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $12,082,000 ($0.53 per share, basic and diluted), compared to $7,315,000 ($0.33 per share, basic and diluted) in the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Earnings for the Company improved this quarter largely due to the negative provision for loan losses expense of $2.0 million. Net interest income and non-interest expenses also improved compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. The net interest margin decreased from 3.14% in the fourth quarter of 2014 to 3.11% in the fourth quarter of 2015, but the average amount of interest earning assets increased $79.9 million. As a result, net interest income improved by 6.0% in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

The provision for loan losses decreased $2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 as no provision was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2014 and a negative expense of $2 million was recorded this quarter. Classified assets decreased 16.8% during the fourth quarter and the analysis of the risk in the loan portfolio indicated that the Allowance for Loan Losses should be reduced by $2.1 million, or 16.1% during the quarter. Total Loans decreased $6.6 million during the fourth quarter, but increased $7.9 million during the year. The continued improvement in asset quality enabled the Company to reduce the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses from 2.16% of loans at the end of 2014 to 1.76% as of the end of 2015.

 

Non-interest income decreased $61,000, or 1.5% in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. Deposit account fees and debit card income increased while wealth management income and rental income from Other Real Estate Owned decreased.

 

Total non-interest expenses decreased $330,000, or 3.4% in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. Salaries and benefits decreased $298,000 or 4.9% due to an efficiency initiative that reduced our staffing in the fourth quarter of 2015. Expenses related to Other Real Estate Owned decreased $152,000 due to the decrease in the number of properties owned and FDIC deposit insurance expense decreased $239,000 as the assessment rate decreased when the FDIC and the State of Michigan terminated the Bank’s informal regulatory agreement in 2015.

 

Total assets of the company increased $63.7 million, or 5.0% compared to December 31, 2014. Total loans increased $7.9 million since the end of 2014. Capital increased $12.8 million during the year primarily due to the profit of $12.1 million. The ratio of equity to assets increased from 10.52% at the end of 2014 to 10.98% at December 31, 2015. The Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage ratio increased from 9.55% as of December 31, 2014 to 10.90% as of December 31, 2015.

 

H. Douglas Chaffin, President and CEO, commented, “We are pleased with our results for 2015. We focused on improving asset quality for the last several years, and the results of those efforts are now being fully reflected in our earnings. While we remain concerned about the effect of global and national issues on our local economy, we plan to continue our efforts to improve profitability by growing our loan portfolio and improving our operational efficiency. At the beginning of the fourth quarter we began an efficiency initiative that will provide meaningful expense reductions beginning in the first quarter of 2016 while maintaining a high level of customer service and satisfaction. Our current environment still presents challenges, but we remain confident in our ability to maintain our position as the premier independent provider of financial services in the communities we serve.”
